"Oh, it's so lively. Are you rehearsing some new dance drama?"

Before Jiang Hua came here, he knew that the song and dance troupe was in a downturn, but he didn't expect that the situation was worse than he expected. What he saw when he came in was a complete mess.

"Captain Wang, what's going on?"

The officials of the Cultural Affairs Bureau frowned.

The young master Jiang next to him was introduced by the above, and he was receiving him carefully. Unexpectedly, he had just arrived at the song and dance troupe, and he didn't even take a sip of tea before enjoying such a "big show".

"Director Li, I'm really sorry. This man drank too much and came to our song and dance troupe to act drunk. We will kick him out immediately."

Wang Xinni's heart skipped a beat.

She did not expect that Director Li from the Cultural Affairs Bureau would come to inspect the song and dance troupe at this time.

The song and dance troupe is indeed facing financial difficulties. There is no security guard, and the gatekeeper is an old man in his sixties.

With the combined efforts of a group of Yingying Yanyan and the old man, Hu Quan, who was drunk and crazy, was kicked out of the song and dance troupe.

"Captain, I'm sorry for embarrassing you."

Shi Qingping kept wiping her tears.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm really sorry. It was an accident today."

Director Li glared at Wang Xinni with hatred and quickly explained to Jiang Hua.

In the past, Captain Wang would come to him every two days to get more funds for the song and dance troupe. Now he finally managed to bring a God of Wealth over, but as soon as he walked in, the God of Wealth laughed at him.

"Director Li, who is this?"

Wang Xinni originally thought that Jiang Hua was the clerk who came with Director Li, but looking at the scene now, it doesn't seem like it.

How can a great director explain things in such a low voice to the clerks?

"This is Mr. Jiang who came here to inspect investment. You guys are so impressive!"

Director Li said very annoyed.

"Director Li, you just said that Mr. Jiang wants to invest in our song and dance troupe?"

Wang Xinni was surprised and happy.

The happy thing is that the song and dance troupe is almost too poor to open the pot, and finally sees the light of day. But what is shocking is that the God of Wealth will not turn around and leave when he sees this scene just now, right?

"I heard that you were rehearsing the large-scale Tang-style song and dance "Dunhuang". Is it because you feel that ancient costume songs and dances are not popular, so you are rehearsing comedy sketches instead?"

Jiang Hua looked at Captain Wang with a half-smile.

"That's a scoundrel who makes trouble and makes Mr. Jiang laugh."

Wang Xinni looked embarrassed.

"I told you it was an accident just now. You are not very young, so why are you so mean in your words?"

Wang Yilian couldn't bear to see her mother being wronged.

"Shut up!"

Wang Xinni glared at her daughter.

"Are these the only people left in the song and dance troupe?"

Jiang Hua glanced at the rehearsal room. There were almost a dozen or so people of all kinds. They probably couldn't even make up the minimum requirements for a large-scale song and dance piece.

"The group has been in a downturn recently, so some of them have left."

Wang Xinni sighed softly.

"It seems I've thought too much. Sorry to bother you."

Jiang Hua originally wanted to invest some money to make "Dunhuang", a song and dance piece that represents one of the highest artistic levels in China, come out ahead of schedule.

But at the moment, it seems that given the current conditions of the song and dance troupe, even if he has the funds in place, the actors may not be able to keep up.

In this case, he might as well take the money and invest in other intangible cultural heritage projects that can achieve immediate results.

"Mr. Jiang, don't leave. Those who are leaving are all backup dancers from the song and dance troupe. The real backbone is still there, and none of them have left."

Director Li grabbed Jiang Hua anxiously.

He also came from a song and dance troupe, and he still has some feelings for this place.

"Okay, who is your lead dancer? Come over and perform a performance. I have to know whether the money I invested is worth it."

Jiang Hua turned around expressionlessly.

What he saw was "Dunhuang" ten years later. The dancers on stage at that time were definitely not the same group as the ones in front of him, so he wanted to see the level of the current group of dancers.

"It's me, Mr. Jiang, wait a moment, I'm going to change clothes."

Shi Qingping shed tears, adjusted her mentality and said.

"Mom, where does this person come from, and why is he so arrogant?"

Wang Yilian secretly pulled her mother and asked.

"I don't know. No matter what his background is, as long as he is willing to invest money in the song and dance troupe, we must be very alert and treat him seriously."

Wang Xinni said solemnly.

Not long after, Shi Qingping, dressed in Tang-style costume, walked out.

Her figure is flexible and her appearance is in good condition. When she stands there, she does have the elegance of a beauty in ancient costume.

"Mr. Jiang, you see, Xiao Shi in our group is quite good. She has won many awards in previous performances in the city."

Director Li stood next to Jiang Hua and introduced with a smile.

As the guzheng played, Shi Qingping's figure was like a willow blowing in the wind, her steps were light, and she danced along with the music.

Wang Xinni's eyes showed a look of satisfaction. After all, he was the disciple she taught. Although he has been delayed in the past two years, his foundation is still there.

Jiang Hua frowned more and more as he watched. He felt more and more that he had come to the wrong place. "Dunhuang" like this was not what he wanted, and it was not up to the level that foreigners would call selling cakes.

If the money spent cannot produce a wave of cultural export to foreigners, then what is the point of spending the money?

"Mr. Jiang, what are you dissatisfied with?"

Director Li asked attentively.

"She is not suitable for this piece."

Jiang Hua said bluntly.

"Why, sister Qingping dances so well."

Wang Yilian felt that Jiang Hua was just here to find fault.

"Her temperament is too sad. She may be good at graceful solo dances, but she is not suitable to be the lead dancer for majestic and large-scale repertoire."

Jiang Hua said sharply.

Shi Qingping's face turned pale. She felt that what Jiang Hua said was absolutely right. After getting married, her married life was full of dissatisfactions, which also brought about great changes in her temperament, making her sad and sentimental.

"Director Li, I'm really sorry for wasting your time. Why don't we just forget about it today?"

Jiang Hua was ready to go home.

He came to the song and dance troupe on a whim. Since he couldn't get what he wanted, he had no interest in wasting more time here.

"Wait a minute, don't you just want to watch "Dunhuang"? I'll do it!"

Wang Yilian said angrily.

She just couldn't get angry at Jiang Hua's attitude. Is it important to have money? A group of people surrounded him and humiliated him, and he was still picky. Why?

"Okay, come on."

Jiang Hua felt that since he was already here, he didn't mind wasting a few more minutes.

Not long after, Wang Yilian, who had changed into clothes, walked out of the changing room, making Jiang Hua's eyes light up.

This is the feeling he wants. Wang Yilian has the vigor and vitality of a girl from the Tang Dynasty, as well as a hint of vigor and unrestrainedness. This kind of temperament is more suitable for "Dunhuang".
